GENERAL INFO

Arriving in 1964, the 14A Jumbo Crane is a bigger version of the 11C Crane from the RW range. It was released in a D box without NEW MODEL on end flaps, then packaged in E1 and E3 boxes. The E boxes show the model working with another one on lifting beans.

The first F box, an F2 one, has an inside panel showing the model working on pipes with a pipe truck, while the back has the crane lifting a yellow cement mixer. The F4 box has the model working with a pipe truck again, but this time on the hag tag. The back illustration is the same as F2, but offers a wider view and additional details.

RARITY

The D, E3 and F4 boxes look like they may be a little harder to find than the other ones.
